I was scary once.

When I was 6 years old, my parents went to visit someone until late. I was left with my uncle.

You are just that, look there carefully. My dad warned him. He has been nervous for the last few days. The monsters were afraid of something.

Yes is normal. No monsters to be afraid. My uncle reassured him.

When my parents left, he started treating my monstrophobia. By a rather radical method – for two hours locked me in the room, cut off the light and started to scare me through the door with an afterlife voice.

I have not been afraid of monsters since then. I was afraid of my uncle.
